My fine boy, Bogan, is gone

I am so very sad. Our Bogan passed away last night, after his year-long battle with hemangiosarcoma. He would have turned 8 years old on Feb. 22, a good long life for a Wolfhound, but not long enough for me. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by Mr. K and me. We are all still quite shaken; even Dixie Chick and Kelso seem lost.

I can't ever thank you all enough for your compassion and support since Bogan was diagnosed. You have all helped me cherish these last few months with my boy, and you have cheered him every time he rallied.

The 3 Amigos are no more. I don't know how I can ever post photos of just Dixie Chick and Kelso - I will always, always see that empty space in the picture.

I've added an album in his memory here.

I picked today's shot because it is so bleak and gray - exactly how I am feeling.
